It’s a well known fact that packing is the worst. I don’t know a single person who enjoys packing (although I’m sure there’s a few of you out there). Packing jewelry is especially difficult. It always gets tangled or lost in your luggage. In fact, I usually don’t bother pack jewelry because I’m afraid I’ll lose it. But since I’m traveling every weekend this summer, I came up with some easy hacks for packing jewelry. Check out my tips below:
Buttons are a great way to pack pairs of earrings:
I use an old contact lenses case to store my rings:
Straws are a great way to prevent delicate necklaces from getting tangled. Simply tread the necklace through the straw and connect the clasp:
For larger pieces of jewelry, I use Glad Press’n Seal. The cling wrap prevents the jewelry from getting tangled:
Another great hack is to use a pill case to store small pieces of jewelry. This is great for storing earrings, rings, and delicate necklaces. You can get a super cheap one on Amazon:
After a couple of trips, I broke down and bought a jewelry roll. I found a great Rebecca Minkoff case for only $25 at Nordstrom. This one from Stella & Dot ($39) is also super cute and functional.
